Gluttony is when you crave something so much that it’s unhealthy, unnatural and immoral. It’s when your brain says “that’s enough,” but you reach for the ice cream anyway, without hesitation, and without will. It’s when you verbally beat an opponent, feel sorry that they’re so pathetic, but still continue with the attack for no… Read more

There’s certain songs that resonate with people, I think. Even if music is a foreign to the person… there’s always something. Some tune, some lyric, that resounds in the mind during times of trouble or distress. Maybe it’s like the way a cat purrs when it’s injured. The purring helps comfort the cat. Maybe the songs help comfort us. What type… Read more

Frankenberry, Boo Berry, and Count Chocula, As a child, you three dazzled me away from the naughty Honey Nut Cheerios Bee. You did not need Lucky Charms to hold breakfast bowl dominion. Tony Tiger secretly thought of you when he screamed “They’re Great.” Oh – what a seasonal specialty – sweet strawberry goodness, beguiling blueberry, charming chocolate –… Read more

During the final days at the House, Kadie (or is it Katie?) pulled me in for an exit interview. She wanted to know how I felt the programming, staff, and activities where helpful – what I thought was so ‘great’ about the House. Really, it was just a self-serving BS interview. One of those “tell me what… Read more

Phone conversations are not my favorite. Texting, writing, e-mails – sure. I can write thoughts and feelings down, edit for clarity, and feel completely embarrassed that there are words I still cannot spell – but Spell Check can. Speaking is an uncouth cousin by comparison. Once a word is said, it’s cannot be undone. It… Read more

Yesterday, which was some 2.5 hours ago, was really kind of difficult… but it started surprising well. I had three (yes three) doctor appointments. I did it this way intentionally – best to knock how several in a single day then spread it out over a week. I simply detest having one — appointment per… Read more

What I think most people don’t realize is “Cinderella” is not the name of the character. Snow White – is – a name. It’s based upon circumstances of the weather rather than have any historical or societal reason. Regardless, it is a name. Sleeping Beauty’s name is Aurora. Like Snow White, Aurora’s name is based upon her… Read more

It’s actually raining right now – 2:48am (of course). The window is open. The wetted fresh air is just every so barely moving the curtain- which is a good thing. If it being rambunctious, I’d have to close the window to save the laptop. I also like the quote – thought it was fitting. I’ve… Read more

I would have never picked “Here comes the sun” from the 1969 Beatles album – which is what played during my roughly three week old House commencement. Trina, my illness absent primary therapist, chose it for me. Kadie had to guide the ceremony – but there really wasn’t any need to – the elder clients were well-skilled… Read more
